2016 Allen & Ginter Plate: Matt Kemp

Allen & Ginter is my absolute favorite product -- even though they packed the 2016 version with far too many non-athlete hits -- and I love snagging A&G cards of my main guys ever year. I couldn't resist adding the below when it appeared on eBay recently and stayed very reasonable at less than a blaster and a half dent to my wallet. My newest Matt Kemp card is this framed beaut:

This Cyan 1/1 is my third plate of The Bison as a Padre and now I can't wait to add my first card of Matty as a Brave, which I'm guessing will come in 2016 Update later this year. An EXT mini plate from '16 Ginter ended this past weekend at not much more than the above did (thanks to a less than stellar listing from the seller) but unfortunately I was not the high bidder.
